I just happen to catch a special documentary last night on cable. Speed Vision did a great in depth on Porsche racing. Really nice job on the coverage of Porsche's racing heritage.

What was it listed as so I can catch the re-run?

Missed that one; went out socializing after the race coverage ended. But I _did_ see Hurley Haywood being interviewed standing in front of ....(wait for it.... cue drumroll!)..._two_ of 'our' cars.. a red 944 and a red 924 or 924S....!!!

Jim, "Roll on, Double Six!!!"

Saw the same interview Jim...and that was exactly where my eye went...watercoolers everywhere...

Yeah man i saw it. I really liked how they showed the progression of the racing line. Most of that stuff happened before i was born It'd be cool if someone could find that on video, i'd watch it again and again.

I second that, car was unbelievable. And when was it built? 82 or something?

But i think I'd take one of them 917-10 can am cars first. 1100 hp held the closed circuit speed record for 15 years

Ken, I got it on tape, I was so siked when i saw it being aired again at 1:30 am, I had the tape all ready that time. I may be able to make you a copy if you want. But it would be cool to get a real copy from speedvision or something.

Sorry, it was called "Porsche, victory by design" followed by "ferrari, victory by design" narrated by the same guy, another must see. I checked my digital cable, and it reads about a month ahead and it doesn't look like they're airing it again. Maybe check speedvision.com (or speedchannel.com now, who knows). Deffinetley worth it. This wasn't the first time they aired it, I saw it a few months back, so i'm sure they will put it on again.

I saw it to ,it was great !!I missed a few min at the beginning ,I got tape rolling as fast as I could.
Does anyone know what they started with?

doyle

It's worth it, even if you just see Brian Redman flying through some small towns in a, I think, 908 spyder. All of this is on open roads too. Unbelievable!

Peter L,

Thanks.

Ahhhh the black 962CS when they took you down the road in it listening to that diamond of a 12 cyl Porsche motor, I had hallucinations of myself driving that beast down the desert highway. Suddenly I was reduced to a 6yr old howling engine sounds at the tv screen "veroooom! verooooom! rhaaaaaaaa,rhaaaaaaaa" And then thinking if one ever could be so lucky to be seated behind the wheel of a 962CS, the only thought that would come to mind would have to be the Will Smith line in Independence Day........ "I GOTTA get me one of THESE!!!".

Man what a special. That's a tape or better yet DVD I would pay hard earned CA$$$H for.

If anybody knows when it will be shown again or how to get a copy please post it. The Ferrari special was equally as entertaining.

I believe both of those initially aired on TLC? I know it wasn't speedvision, cause I dont get that here and I remember recording them.

The one I'm thinking of was more a biography of Ferry's life, but also included a lot of car stuff of course. There was also a bio on Enzo Ferrari before the bio on ferry.
